The Yellow River, also known as Huang He, is the second-longest river in China. It has a yellow hue due to the presence of loess (fine yellow soil). The river has a rich history and is a symbol of Chinese civilization. It has been a major transportation route and a key source of water for irrigation. The Yellow River is also associated with devastating floods throughout history, earning it the nickname ‘China’s Sorrow’. Despite its challenges, the river continues to play a crucial role in Chinese culture and economy. #YellowRiver #HuangHe #China #RiverHistory
